Description

Heredity is a cooperative board game that drops you into a post-apocalyptic world, where you'll play as a family navigating the dangers of this new landscape. With a playtime of 120 to 180 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to immerse yourself in the story, which is structured into a campaign that unfolds over several scenarios. Designed by Jerome Cance and Laurent Kobel, Heredity is a game that's easy to learn, even for those familiar with board games, and can be played with 1 to 4 players, making it a great option for solo players or groups of friends. As you play through the game, you'll control four player characters, while the youngest member of the family, Swan, is a non-playable character who adds an extra layer to the story. You'll work together to explore the world, interact with other characters, and make decisions that impact the outcome of the game. The game's mechanics, which include cooperative gameplay, scenario-based missions, and storytelling elements, all come together to create a deeply narrative experience. With a karma deck that evolves over time, based on your choices, and a timeline system that controls the game's events, Heredity offers a unique and engaging experience that's full of adventure, exploration, and science fiction elements. Whether you're a fan of Mad Max, The Walking Dead, or other post-apocalyptic stories, Heredity is a game that's sure to draw you in and keep you on the edge of your seat.
